Argo’s 12 Days of Santa’s Insurance: Cyber Coverage

From names and presents to addresses and routes, Santa has so much data to track, he’d be out of his red hat not to protect it. It’s a good thing Argo has a policy to make sure the only clouds Santa has to worry about are the ones he flies through.

Here are three scenarios that show not even Santa is safe from cyberattacks:

Santa climbs in his sleigh and logs into his on-board computer only to find that he’s been locked out of his database and hackers are demanding $1 million in bitcoin to unlock it – a hallmark of a ransomware attack.

Halfway around the globe on Christmas Eve, Santa checks his list for the third time and realizes it’s been scrambled and he has delivered presents to the wrong addresses.

Mrs. Claus is monitoring Santa’s virtual private network (VPN) when thousands of server requests hit, the first sign of a massive data breach.
